George W. Bush in Calgary

The former President shows the same class as he has done before.

Alberta – Former President George W. Bush, making his first public speech since leaving office in January, says he wants Barack Obama to succeed and that it’s “essential” to support the new leader.

Bush declined to critique the Obama administration in Tuesday’s speech, saying the new president has enough critics and that he “deserves my silence.”

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has said that Obama’s decisions threatened America’s safety. Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has said he hoped Obama would fail.

“I love my country a lot more than I love politics,” Bush said. “I think it is essential that he be helped in office.”

During his time in the White House he didn’t lash out at his opponents, no talks about lists of political enemies, no attacking liberal/democratic profiles like the Obama administration have done with the conservative profile Rush Limbaugh. And now after his presidency he takes the same classy stance towards the democrats. I would lie if I said that I didn’t miss him in the White House, and the young Obama administration have a lot to learn.

And as if the horrible treatment Bush received while in office wasn’t enough the left continues to show it’s lack of class even after his presidency:

Four people were arrested in downtown Calgary on Tuesday during a protest outside the building where former U.S. president George W. Bush was making his first official speech since leaving office.

Two men were charged with obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest. Another man was charged with breaching the peace, while the fourth was issued a ticket for violating a public behaviour bylaw, said Duty Insp. Rob Williams of Calgary police.
